Pros

The thing that i enjoyed most about working at UBS is the ability to learn and family like atmosphere that was created in my office

Cons

I enjoyed working at UBS Global Asset Management but there is definitely a feeling of too much structure compared to my other employers

Pros

A good place to start a career. A good place to learn and advance you skills.Good talented people to work with. Good employee benefits. Though most benefits are reserve for managment

Cons

Incompetent middle management. Promotions are given to people who rarely work hard to deserve those promotions. Managment promotes a culture of flattery and a** kissing to recommend staff for promotion. Its mostly about "Who you know " than "How well you perform". No transparent promotion criteria. Favoritisn is rife. Certain employees are "Picked" for higher management roles using a discrimanatory no transparent "Ascent Program" to promote choosen ones.
